Roman Catholic

Good on him that he takes the time to tell this crazy-ass raisincake how backwards she is!

lalalala not listening…

This may very well be one of my best shots ever. It is taken on Wall Street, right in front of Trinity church, and the person to the right is arguing with this woman, probably about what it takes or doesn't take to get to heaven...

Yes, God plays favorites with his own creation, if you get the correct faith by chance, you get to go. It's all BS there is no heaven or hell, Man created god.

So, what happened to all the people before there was Catholicism?

By her standard, heaven seems like a lonely place.

i have seen that very woman with that very sign in princeton, new jersey during a large fair.

i think its safe to say that she made more people hate catholics than she made convert.

...and so the arrogance and righteousness of religion continues to fester in our world. What else in new.

I'm not sure what it take to pass through the pearly gates but her penmanship is fantastic! If clear handwriting is required I'm out.

She's old. Her worldview is completely set in concrete. She'll find out in about 20 years or less what the truth really is.

I will say this however, Jesus was a rebel, whether you want to hear about it or not. The RC church is a human creation.

fantastic. exactly the topic of the conclave that elected benoit XVI...

ratzinger was defending exactly this position (you can only be "saved" in the roman catholic church) while cardinal martini was probably a lot more intelligent and tolerant... you know what viewpoint won.

so dan, sorry but you are wrong.

Man she is soooooooo right. Seriously. I've been to heaven and the Catholic Invisible Friend is like waaay more powerful then the other Invisible Friends. He totally doesn't dig you if your not part of his posse.

Hm. Was that a footnote at the end of one of the Gospels? Oh, the fine print is so easily over-read.

I love the interaction (or lack thereof) between the two subjects, how he seems to be engaged in a such heated debate, while she seems to be looking right past him as if it were nothing. I can't seem to place her emotion though.
All in all, I think this is a great shot!

Which is worst?

Her sign or those offended by the sign? Anyone smart enough to recognize how wrong she is and the fact that she does not represent anyone else would not be offended.
